The Sharan.

With the Sharan, you enter a totally new world of driving. One in which travel itself becomes an experience to savour. Driving is no longer a chore because all around you are space, freedom and comfort. In fact, there's ample room for the driver and six adult passengers to sit back, relax and enjoy their individually formed ‘business class’ seats. But the other beauty of the Sharan is its flexibility – by removing the rear seats you can open up a massive 2,610 cubic litres of storage space.

Engineering for all the family.

As you climb aboard the Sharan, you'll immediately notice three things – space, comfort and quality. Every model in the Sharan range is equipped with five single seats in the rear. And with wide opening doors, it's extremely easy for your passengers to get in and out of the Sharan.

Choose a Sharan and you'll also gain great versatility. Because with a few simple steps you can transform your car from a spacious saloon to a vehicle capable of transporting large, bulky items.

When the rear seats are folded down, a useful table is formed which is ideal for a business meeting or a family picnic. You can even specify 180^ rotating front seats* as an optional extra, allowing you to face your companions around a table.

01 The middle row of three seats folds down to allow easy access to the two rear seats. Interior shown is Sport.

01 Luggage can be securely fastened through the pre-fitted tying loops.
02 Need room for large, bulky items? Why not use your Sharan?
03 The optional sumptuous leather upholstery provides even more luxury. Please note, 180° rotating front seats are not available on automatic models. Some parts of leather interior will contain artificial leather.

Create your own space.

When you need to transport the bulkiest of items, the Sharan is at your disposal. Its ingenious seats can either fold down or be removed altogether, creating a huge 2,610 cubic litres of capacity, according to ISO 3832. Once removed, the seat sockets have their own covers to help ensure that no luggage will get caught and damaged. It’s just another small feature that highlights the attention to detail in the Sharan.

Loading and unloading often means sliding items on the lip of the boot, which can damage the paintwork. Not with the Sharan, as it's fitted with a specially designed loading edge protector.

ESP 01

01 Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP) is available as an option on certain engines.

Superior engineering for your safety.

Performance can be viewed in many different ways. Some look for top speed, others seek acceleration statistics. At Volkswagen we also include engine efficiency, roadholding and safety. We believe such a measurement is a more accurate reflection of the Sharan's superior engineering.

The chassis, for example, is extremely rigid, so that in the event of an accident damage is minimised and controlled around the inner survival zone. Its strength also helps create the kind of roadholding that sets the Sharan apart from the competition.

The chassis works in harmony with the suspension by ironing out uneven road surfaces, providing a smooth ride along a straight road, but also perfect balance through a corner.

Braking is also a feature that we are justifiably proud of in the Sharan. Its short stopping distance is achieved through an advanced Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) that works in conjunction with Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution (EBD). This system regulates the front and rear brake pressure via the ABS system.

Volkswagen's Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP) is available as an option on certain engines. This intelligent system detects critical situations developing, such as understeer. It responds in milliseconds by applying the brakes to individual wheels and automatically adjusting the engine's power.

Model shown is Sport with optional metallic paint.

AIRBAG 05

PILL 06

01 The proven safety of ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is standard on all Sharan models.
02 Front airbags are standard to protect the driver and front seat passenger. The passenger's airbag can also be deactivated using a key operated switch located in the glovebox.
03 Seat-mounted side airbags are also standard, protecting the driver and front passenger from side impact.
04 Middle row, centre seat three-point seat belts are standard on all Sharan models.
05 Curtain airbags help to protect the driver and middle row passenger during a side impact.
06 With front and rear parking sensors you'll have more spaces to choose from. Standard on SE and Sport models.
07 The integrated child seat has three settings suited to children between nine to 18 kg, 15-25 kg and 22-36 kg. We recommend, however, that the child seat only be used by children from the age of two years. The seat shown has been set up for children classified by ECE-R 44 in class one (nine to 18 kg). Please refer to the safety section of the Sharan Owner's Manual for operating instructions. Two integrated child seats are fitted as standard to the Sharan SE in the outer seats of the middle row.

Whilst ABS and optional ESP are active safety features that help you avoid accidents in the first instance, the Sharan is also equipped with many passive safety features. Passive features are there to protect you in the unfortunate event of an accident.

The Sharan's great protection begins with the immense strength built into its design. The crash optimised bodywork was initially conceived by computer simulations to identify the most vulnerable areas. These areas then received added strength, like the vertical fixed supports and columns that are developed to absorb energy. After computer simulations, actual crash test scenarios were performed to verify effectiveness.

When it comes to the highest protection, airbags play an equally important role. Airbags have been one of the most significant safety advancements in recent years and the Sharan not only benefits from driver's and front passenger's airbags with passenger's airbag deactivation switch located in the glovebox, but also front seat side and curtain airbags to provide added protection for the driver and front passenger. Following an accident, airbags activate in milliseconds to cushion the front occupants and minimise any injuries.

The seat belts in the Sharan are designed for maximum comfort and protection. The driver's and front passenger's seat belts are height-adjustable. All seven seats are equipped with three-point belts, with the outer belts on the middle row also being height-adjustable.

Every seat is fitted with an adjustable head restraint, not just for comfort, but as a safety measure in the event of a collision.

Protecting the youngest members of your family receives special attention with integrated child safety seats. These seats take away all the hassle of installing and removing a traditional child seat. Two are fitted as standard to the Sharan SE model (in the outer seats of the middle row) and up to two more can be fitted as an optional extra. On S, BlueMotion S and Sport models, up to four seats can be fitted as optional extras. There is also the innovative Isofix child seat mounting system which allows the Volkswagen approved Isofix child safety seat to be fixed securely to the Sharan. Please note that the Isofix mounting system is not available with integrated child seats. In addition, all rear doors are fitted with child locks.

Optional on the S, BlueMotion S and standard on SE and Sport models are front and rear parking sensors. This ingenious system will detect objects located behind your vehicle as well as making parking in the smallest spaces so much easier. Sensors in the front and rear bumpers operate by ultrasound and emit a bleep. As objects get closer, the sound signal becomes more frequent.

02 TDI

01 All manual Sharan models feature a six speed gearbox to obtain maximum efficiency from the available power.
02 Our highly efficient* 2.0 litre TDI 140 PS engine benefits from turbocharging and 'Pumpe Düse' technology.

Striking the balance between performance and economy.

When you drive a Sharan, you'll experience a method of travel that's hugely different from your average saloon. The Sharan accommodates up to six passengers in refined comfort, yet still cruises effortlessly along a motorway and delivers impressive acceleration and speed when required.

There are three engines available – one petrol and two diesel. The petrol engine is a 2.0 litre 115 PS unit available for the S, which is available as a six speed manual.

Two diesels are available, both featuring Volkswagen's ‘Pumpe Düse’ technology that is capable of producing an injection pressure of over 2,000 bar. Diesels have long been associated with outstanding fuel economy, saving money through more miles per gallon. But have you ever considered a diesel because of its performance? Experience one of the latest generation diesels from Volkswagen and you’ll be in for a pleasant surprise. We’ve patented a number of technological breakthroughs such as the ‘Pumpe Düse’ injection technique that injects fuel under extreme pressure direct into the combustion chamber. This results in a much more efficient combustion process, thereby combining low fuel consumption with excellent performance. A further advancement has been a ‘pilot injection’ system. This ignites a minuscule amount of fuel before the actual combustion and serves to reduce engine noise. It means that the quietness and smoothness of Volkswagen’s latest generation diesels makes them hardly distinguishable from a petrol engine.

The first diesel option, a 1.9 litre generating 115 PS, available as a six speed manual or for those who prefer more relaxed driving, a five speed automatic tiptronic. In manual form, this engine can achieve 43.5 mpg* over the Combined fuel cycle and reach a top speed of 112 mph, where the law permits. The second diesel, a 2.0 litre TDI 140 PS can reach 119 mph where the law permits, accelerate from 0 - 62 mph in 12.2 seconds, yet return 42.8 mpg* over the Combined fuel cycle. Air cooling and variable turbo geometry add to its performance capability, allowing a smooth supply of power even at low revolutions.

The 2.0 litre TDI 140 PS is also available with an optional Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). This is part of the exhaust system responsible for cleaning the exhaust gases before they enter the atmosphere. In addition to converting the harmful exhaust gases in the same way as a conventional catalytic converter, the DPF uses advanced technology to reduce the emission of black smoke and soot. It filters the exhaust gases and particles before they leave the vehicle exhaust system, resulting in a cleaner environment and less pollution entering the atmosphere.

Specify the BlueMotion S and the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) comes as standard, and combined with improved aerodynamics and gear ratios, produces reduced fuel consumption and improved CO2 emissions. The BlueMotion S can achieve 47.1mpg^* on the Combined fuel cycle and CO2 emissions are reduced to 159g / km , making this the most economical and environmentally friendly Sharan ever produced.

Please note, driving conditions within inner-cities and the Channel Islands may not provide optimum conditions for the use of DPF technology. Therefore, it is advised that you consider this before ordering your vehicle with DPF.

* Please see pages 34 and 35 for CO₂ emissions and fuel consumption figures.

The Sharan S and BlueMotion S.

An MPV can provide the space, comfort and practicality required for business needs or the growing family.

The Sharan S features a host of standard features others would class as extras, including a coming home lighting function, a cooled glovebox that is also illuminated and lockable, electric windows for the front and middle row, manual rear vent windows and a radio/MP3 compatible CD player with 10 speakers. For added comfort the Sharan is fitted with front and rear electronic climate control which allows the front and rear passengers their own different temperature settings.

Naturally, safety is high on the list of standard equipment too. A curtain airbag system, front seat side impact airbags, driver's and front passenger's airbags with passenger's airbag deactivation switch located inside the glovebox, complemented by a rigid safety cell with front and rear crumple zones and ABS are all standard.

The BlueMotion S builds over the impressive equipment level of the S, and can be distinguished by its unique ‘BlueMotion’ badging on the rear tailgate. Improved fuel consumption and CO_2 emissions have been achieved by improving aerodynamics, lowering the suspension, altering gear ratios and reducing weight. But what really sets the BlueMotion S apart are its environmental credentials. A Combined fuel figure of 47.1 mpg*, a CO_2 emission of just 159 g/km and Diesel Particulate Filter as standard, all result in less pollution and a cleaner environment.

* Please see pages 34 and 35 for CO₂ emissions and fuel consumption figures.

01 The radio/MP3 compatible CD player has 10 speakers which provide exceptional sound clarity.
02 The multifunction computer displays important data such as outside temperature, fuel consumption, average speed, distance and journey time.
03 The unique ‘BlueMotion’ badging symbolises improved environmental credentials.
04 Front and rear electronic climate control, combined with a dust and pollen filter, gives a pleasant driving environment.
05 Model shown is S with optional metallic paint.

The Sharan Sport.

The Sharan Sport epitomises engineering excellence. It manages to combine the practical side of owning an MPV with the style and performance that inspires everyday driving. Its character stems from the powerful 2.0 litre TDI diesel unit which develops 140 PS.

Take one look at the Sharan Sport and its intentions are perfectly clear – 16 inch ‘Lisbon’ alloy wheels, sports suspension, black bumper strips and side bump strips with chrome inserts and front fog lights create a distinctive appearance. The Sport’s interior is enhanced with height-adjustable front sports seats with lumbar support, five rear sports seats, ‘Delta’ radio/CD player with 10 speakers, boot-mounted 6 CD autochanger, ‘Opera’ cloth upholstery, and a leather trimmed steering wheel, gear knob and handbrake grip. But why not make up your own mind with a test drive at your local Volkswagen retailer?

Technical specification.

01) The maximum power output figures are quoted in PS (or Pferdestärke, which is the metric equivalent of horsepower). To convert from metric to imperial horsepower, divide the PS figure by 1.0139.
02) Figures are calculated in accordance with manufacturer's criteria. Vehicle unladen weight ranges with 90% tank capacity without driver (75 kg). The individual unladen weight depends on the specification of the vehicle, this then reduces the possible payload accordingly.
03) With increasing altitude the engine performance diminishes. From 1,000 m above sea level and for every 1,000 m thereafter 10% of the vehicle/trailer weight (trailer weight + gross vehicle weight) must be deducted.
04) Thanks to the knock control, unleaded four star (at least 95 RON) can be used instead of Super plus unleaded.
05) The use of RME and FAME (bio diesel) is not possible.
06) Official fuel consumption according to EU Directive 99/94. The consumption calculation according to 1999/100/EC is based on the actual unladen weight of the vehicle. Additional specifications can lead to a higher weight class and hence to consumption figures of this higher weight class. The driving style, road and traffic conditions, environmental influences and vehicle condition can in practice lead to consumption figures, which may differ from those calculated with this standard.
07) The weight of a vehicle will influence the level of CO_2 emission it produces; as a result, vehicles with higher levels of specification and factory-fitted options may emit higher levels of CO_2 .

Volkswagen service for your peace of mind.

The Volkswagen Warranty.

Three-year Warranty.

All Volkswagen Sharans come with a three-year/60,000 miles warranty, which protects your car against the failure of most mechanical and electrical components due to manufacturing defects. This comprises a two-year manufacturer's warranty with unlimited mileage plus a further one-year/60,000 miles (whichever is soonest) Retailer Warranty. Should the mileage exceed 60,000 miles within the first two years, the manufacturer's two-year warranty will still be valid. If an additional warranty for subsequent years or higher mileage is desired, it may be purchased from an authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer; however, this additional warranty must be purchased before the mileage reaches 60,000*. Full details of the three-year warranty are available from your authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer.

* All warranty work must be completed by an authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer.

Three-year Paint Warranty.

The paintwork of the Sharan is covered against manufacturing defects for a period of three years. Naturally, the Sharan must be cared for in compliance with the operating instructions which will be found in your vehicle handbook. Please consult your authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer for full warranty details.

Six-year Body Protection Warranty.

The internal body sections and panels of the Sharans are covered against rusting through from the inside for six years. Naturally, the Sharan must be cared for in compliance with the operating instructions. Please consult your authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer for full warranty details.

Service Intervals.

Volkswagen are pleased to offer you a choice on how your Sharan is serviced. The appropriate selection is entirely dependent on how the car is likely to be driven and its general use. To help you identify which type of service would be most suitable, please refer to the following guide.

The Time and Distance Service is recommended for vehicles that will cover less than 10,000 miles in 12 months and if the vehicle is likely to be used in the following way:

• Predominantly urban driving, short journeys with frequent cold starts.
- Activities regularly producing high engine loading, e.g. frequent hill climbs, driving with vehicle fully loaded and towing.
- Uneconomical driving style using high rpms with heavy acceleration and heavy braking.

The service intervals for the Time and Distance Service are as follows:

• Oil change service Every 10,000 miles/1 year (whichever is soonest).
  • Inspection service Every 20,000 miles/2 years (whichever is soonest).

The LongLife Service is recommended for vehicles with a daily mileage of more than 25 miles where the vehicle is driven regularly mainly on longer distance journeys. The vehicle is driven mainly at a constant speed with minimum vehicle and engine loading, minimal towing and driven in an economical manner.

With the LongLife Service the vehicle can cover anywhere between 10,000 ^† and a maximum of 20,000 ^† miles or 24 months (whichever is soonest).

† Please note that all mileages are approximate as the service indicator system uses kilometres as the distance measurement. Please consult your authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer for advice and full details.
